I've just tried that with debian-12.8.0-amd64-netinst.iso (and its 12.7 counterpart to be on the safe side) and I'm seeing the encrypted volume just fine with both of them. First entry is sda1_crypt, Linux device-mapper (crypt) partition #1 is ext4, not assigned to a mountpoint initially Second entry is sda, ATA QEMU HARDDISK partition #1 is encrypted (sda1_crypt) > As a consequence it is impossible to do step 9: select the volume and > assign a mount point. > > Summarized, installing Debian using the net-installer on an encrypted > root partition is impossible. Strong disagree. Even more so given we provide guided partitioning with encrypted LVM, which also works.
